Well, maybe Mayor Nancolas drives a gold-plated Hummer stretch limo.

What’s wrong with that?

I have had the opportunity to witness Boise’s mayor arrive and depart from many functions outside if the downtown area, and within.
I have NEVER seen him arrive on a bike, and if it was outside the downtown area, he always arrived in a large SUV. I will admit that I haven’t witnessed every trip, but my experience is easily in the double digit range.

I notice that the numbers provided by Meridian do not include the purchase price, depreciation and insurance costs and that the $825 for fuel at $4 a gallon is a little over 200 gallons. At 20 mpg that would be good for a little more than 4,000 miles a year. The numbers provided by Meridian just don’t add up to the true cost to taxpayers, the yearly cost of ownership to the taxpayers should have been included.

So what’s the big deal. Our leaders and military deserve respect. Maybe the car is bullet proof? Liberals like Dave B. just want us all to ride bikes. Ever tried to ride a bike in Canyon County?

At $825 a year in fuel allowance Tammy sure isn’t going far. Dave walks or bikes….why not the trolly? Go easy on Nancolas….he deserves something in the way of perks – otherwise being the chief of that miserable town would get downright depressing!!
